Missing tool icons, EDIT HTML, COMPOSE tabs - what to do

Have you ever been faced with strange situations like missing tool icons to center text, left-justify or right justify text, make a link list, upload photo or video and just see a shorter tool bar like the one below:

Perhaps even the EDIT HTML and COMPOSE tabs are both missing? Or even both tool icon and EDIT HTML/COMPOSE tabs are missing (just happened to me a short while ago when I was preparing a post in Flock social web browser (see screen shot below):



It need not be just Flock browser. It can be any other web browser.

What did I do then? All I need to do is to open another web browser like Firefox or any other web browser different from the one where you are having problems. I did exactly that and presto, the tool icon plus the EDIT HTML and COMPOSE tabs magically appeared!

If you don't want to use a different browser, you can also try clearing cache and cookies and reopen the post editor window by clicking on the CREATE tab again.
